Martin Road Series GPC-13E Modern Acoustic-Electric Guitar
The Martin GPC-13E Modern combines contemporary design with stage-ready performance in a versatile Grand Performance cutaway body. Its solid spruce top paired with koa fine veneer back and sides delivers clear, balanced tone with rich mids, sparkling highs, and a warm, articulate low end. Scalloped X-bracing enhances projection and responsiveness, making it ideal for a wide range of playing styles—from fingerpicking to full-band accompaniment.
A Performing Artist neck with high-performance taper ensures smooth, fast playability across the fretboard, while diamond-and-square long inlays, white binding, and Ratio® skeletonized open gear tuners provide a sleek, modern aesthetic. Equipped with Martin E1 electronics with a built-in tuner and a softshell case, the GPC-13E Modern from Sky Music Australia is ready for the stage, studio, or home practice.
